Felt

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Brian,
              Susan Kline shared a tip with us some time ago, apply white
glue on the porous material, CA glue to the non porous. The white glue acts
like an accelerator for an instant adhesion, with little to no wicking into
the felt.
I thought she was crazy, until I tried it, no pun intended.  Works
wonderfully for this, as well as trap work type jobs, the non wick
characteristics prevents leather and felt becoming hard.
It's a good sustitute for many hot hide glue applications, like back check
leathers in the field.

Apply the thin CA with a small artist brush and you can really target the
area. Clean brush Immediately with CA solvent, for reuse later.  This will
solve you running problems.

Regards Roger
